Online Workshops
Saturday, November 21, 2020 1:00pm-2:15pm
Create an Interactive Family History Album
In November, our Genealogy Garage will be a little different--a workshop! The original workshop format our founder Donie Nelson intended is making a come-back!
Saturday, November 21, from 1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. (see flier attached to this email) will be facilitated by Isabel Perez. She has developed a really neat way to display your genealogy findings using Google Drive--an interesting way, that should draw in family members!
This is also different from the first two Garages in that it will require an RSVP (because I have to send you a Zoom "invite" to attend). So write back if you want to be included, and I'll send you the information you'll need to attend.
It's also helpful (if you want to take part in the "workshop" aspect) for you to have a Google account, so that you can work along with us in Google Drive. Go here to get one: https://accounts.google.com
Also, please have a few photos downloaded to your computer from your family or tree research that you would want to include in the album you create.
Write back if you have questions!
Happy family history hunting,
